ARTSTUDI 173E: Cell Phone Photography

The ubiquity of cell phone photography has had a widespread impact on the tradition, practice, and purposes of photography, as well as concepts of art and what art should be for. In this class, we discuss the documentarian bent of much cell phone photography, its potential as a component of citizen journalism, the ways in which the environments of these photographs (Instagram, Tumblr) are changing ideas of the image and of authorship, and effects that cell phone photography may be having on us as subjects. Alongside these discussions, students will create works of art utilizing the experimental, documentary, and social potentials of cell phone photography.
